Awan" The mkhybridiso image created using the isoimage-isohybrid.py WIC source plugin fails to boot from a removable storage media such as USB. This is due to the grub-efi bootloader filename being deployed i.e.: "grub-efi-bootx64.efi" which must be "bootx64.efi" in this case of a removable media. Source: https://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/principles.html Quote: "The fallback boot loader mentioned earlier (EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi, or variants of that, depending on the architecture) is something of a special case. This filename was originally intended for use only on removable media, so that they could be booted to install an OS. (If not for that fixed filename, a factory-fresh computer wouldn't be able to boot anything!)"
